Make an Impact Where Innovation Meets Purpose
If you’re someone who thrives on organization, enjoys bringing clarity to complexity, and wants your work to contribute to something bigger—this could be a great fit.
We’re partnering with an organization at the intersection of innovation and national impact, supporting collaborations that advance critical medical technologies for those who serve. This role offers the opportunity to work with a diverse group of stakeholders—from government partners to industry leaders and academic innovators—all working toward meaningful outcomes.
What You’ll Be Part Of
You’ll join a collaborative team that plays a key role in managing and supporting government-funded programs. At the center of it all, you’ll help ensure agreements, contracts, and funding activities are executed smoothly, compliantly, and efficiently.
This is a role where your attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to manage multiple priorities will truly matter.
What You’ll Be Doing
Here’s a high-level overview of how you’ll contribute:
Support the full lifecycle of contracts—from proposal coordination through closeout
Help manage contracts, subcontracts, and related documentation for government-funded programs
Track key milestones, funding activity, deliverables, and reporting deadlines
Partner across teams to coordinate contract actions and provide status updates
Maintain organized, compliant documentation aligned with federal and internal requirements
Assist with invoicing coordination, reporting, and contract modifications
Contribute to clear, accurate contract-related communications
What Success Looks Like
You’ll be someone who:
Brings strong organization and attention to detail to everything you do
Thrives in a fast-paced environment with multiple moving pieces
Communicates clearly and works well across diverse teams
Applies sound judgment and problem-solving skills in complex situations
Stays proactive and adaptable as priorities shift
Evaluates cost proposals
Prepares clear cost analysis and negotiation memoranda

Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365 tools (especially Excel, SharePoint, and Word) (required)
Comfort managing multiple projects and competing priorities (required)
U.S. citizenship (required)

Consortium-model contracting (preferred)
Work Environment & Flexibility
Fully remote with regular virtual collaboration
Occasional travel for meetings, workshops, or program activities
A team-oriented environment where communication and responsiveness are key
Why This Role Stands Out
This is more than a contracts role—it’s an opportunity to be part of meaningful, mission-driven work while building strong relationships across sectors. You’ll contribute to programs that support innovation, collaboration, and real-world impact.
If this sounds like a role where you could add value and grow, we’d welcome the opportunity to connect.
